Kai> What do annotations do in XEmacs?

Wes> An "annotation" is a pixmap or string that is not part of a

Kai> Looks like overlays can do the trick in Emacs, right?

I don't know, unfortunately, I stopped using Emacs a number of years
ago (for a long time they were both installed on my boxes, but...)
